Ordered by printed starting price. A retailer whose page could not be read is listed with that fact rather than an estimate.
- Outdoor sauna An outdoor sauna is the most popular way to own one in the United States, because it keeps the heat, the humidity and the eventual smell of cedar out of the house.
- Infrared sauna An infrared sauna heats your body directly with radiant panels rather than heating the air, so it runs cooler, plugs into an ordinary outlet more often, and costs less to run than a traditional sauna.
- Barrel sauna A barrel sauna is the shape most people picture in a back yard, and the round form is not just a look: it heats efficiently because there is less air volume to warm and the curve circulates it.
- Home sauna A home sauna is a category rather than a product: it can be an infrared cabin in a spare room, a traditional room built into a basement, or a barrel in the back yard, and the right one depends far more on where you will put it and how you will power it than on the brand on the door..
- 2 person sauna A two person sauna is the size most home buyers end up wanting, because most sessions are taken alone or in a pair, and the smaller cabin is cheaper to buy, cheaper to run and quicker to heat.
- Steam room A steam room and a sauna are not the same purchase.
- Sauna heater The heater is the heart of a traditional sauna and the part most often bought wrong.
- Sauna kit A sauna kit is a pre-cut, pre-planned package of the wood, the heater and the fittings to build a sauna in a space you already have, usually indoors.
- Cold plunge tub A cold plunge tub is two purchases in one: the tub you sit in and the chiller that keeps the water cold and clean.
- Water chiller A water chiller is the appliance that makes a cold plunge practical: it pulls heat out of the water to hold a set low temperature and, in most units, filters and circulates it.
- Sauna blanket An infrared sauna blanket is a padded, zip-up bag with infrared heating elements that you lie inside.
- Build your own Building your own sauna can save real money over a finished cabin, but the saving is smaller and the work larger than most first-timers expect.
